    So this sounds more like a supply and demand problem. The concept of renting itself isn’t the issue.

      The current landowners have the entire supply. They tear down all the affordable housing on campus. A few developers then control all rentals on campus which enables them to inflate the demand artificially. That’s not a free market. That’s a cartel of corruption.
